Topic: 1940 ish GE Refrigerator Restoration (Read 13848 times)

I've been restoring things as a hobby for the past few years. I've now decided to tackle my first refrigerator. I think it's a 1944 Model based on what I've seen on the internet, but I don't know for sure. I can't find this exact model # to verify. It's cooled with Sulfur Dioxide, so I'm hoping I don't bust a coolant line and kill myself.

I got this off Craigslist last fall. I talked the woman into giving it to me for free. She said it ran 3 years ago when they moved it from their basement. In the moving process, the power cord ripped from the relay.

Now is my first hurdle; Find out if the dang thing works. I don't know much about refrigerator wiring and relays. So... does anyone know how the heck I wire this back up ? I have a Black, White, and Green wire from the compressor, and a Black, White, and Green from the thermostat. I have no idea where they tie into the relay.
